Logstash jdbc plugin password

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello,

I am fairly new to logstash and plan to use the jdbc plugin to connect to oracle.

Maybe I missed something, but I do not want to store the db password in the config file. What are the best options to provide the password to logstash in a secure way?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank

I'm not sure there is a really good way of doing this. Do you have anything in mind that doesn't require password storage? SSL certificates? Kerberos? SSH?
